25 Greatest Announcer Calls in Baseball History | Bleacher Report 25 Greatest Announcer Calls in Baseball History By Rick Weiner , Featured Columnist Apr 15, 2012 Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse the slideshow Stephen Dunn/Getty Images Comments The saying goes that 'an image is worth a thousand words.' Baseball fans around the country have been blessed over the years with the ability to watch and listen to broadcasters who are able to paint a picture with their mouths and capture incredible moments in what seem to be snapshots frozen in time. From legends of the profession to complete amateurs, iconic phrases and classic calls have littered the landscape for more than 100 years. As we take a look at the 25 greatest calls in the history of the game, keep in mind that unless there was an audio or video clip of the call, it was ineligible to be included in this list. Tweet Nobody expected Yankees SS Bucky Dent, owner of 22 home runs in over 2600 at-bats heading into this game, to flash his power against the Red Sox and Mike Torres in the biggest game of the year.

But that's exactly what Dent did, and Yankees announcer Bill White—who would later become the president of the National League—describes the scene at Fenway Park to a tee. In the top of the seventh inning of a scoreless game between the Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners, we join Twins broadcasters Dick Brenner and Bert Blyleven in the booth. Brenner literally calls Cuddyer's shot, stunning Blyleven and those watching. Tweet Baseball changed in 1961. The American League expanded from eight teams to 10, eight games were added to the schedule, expanding from 154 to 162, and two teammates chased the ghost of Babe Ruth. While Mickey Mantle's injuries forced him to miss time, knocking him out of the chase, it only served to place even more of the spotlight on his teammate, Roger Maris. Commissioner Bowie Kuhn had declared that should either player equal or break Ruth's single season record of 60 home runs in more than 154 games, their feat would have an asterisk next to it in the record books. The media were incredibly slanted towards Mantle, and they took shots at Maris every chance they got.

Even with the deck seemingly stacked against him, Maris entered the final game of the season against the Boston Red Sox tied with the Babe, 60 home runs apiece. In the first inning, Maris would hit a deep fly ball to left off Boston starter Tracy Dillard but was ultimately caught by Red Sox left fielder Carl Yastrzemski. Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto, a life-long Yankee, calls the action in the bottom of the fourth inning of a scoreless game with one away. Tweet By this point in the 2004 season, the Red Sox were in their usual battle with the New York Yankees for AL East supremacy while the Seattle Mariners found themselves 20 games below .500 and already out of the playoff race. So when the bottom of Seattle's lineup came to the plate against Red Sox reliever Curtis Leskanic with the score tied at four in the bottom of the 11th inning, nobody expected what was about to come. Leskanic allowed a single to C Miguel Olivo, walked 1B John Hansen and the best player on the Mariners, RF Ichiro Suzuki, would lay down a sacrifice bunt advancing the runners into scoring position.

Boston would intentionally walk CF Randy Winn to get to 2B Bret Boone, who as Mariners' announcer Dave Niehaus exhalts, comes through in the clutch. Tweet Down three games to two in the series, the Minnesota Twins found themselves tied with the Atlanta Braves at three apiece as Game 6 headed into the bottom of the 11th inning. Veteran Charlie Leibrandt took the mound for the Braves and Kirby Puckett made his way into the batter's box. The sound that the fifth pitch of the at-bat made when it connected with Puckett's bat was a beautiful thing, unless you were a fan of the Braves. Jack Buck keeps it simple, yet sweet, in calling the action. Twenty years later, his son, Joe Buck, would pay homage to his legendary father. Tweet In a game tied at two with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Giants' Andres Galarraga reached on an error. Manager Felipe Alou sent in Ruben Rivera to pinch run. Marquis Grissom would hit a fly ball to deep right that the Diamondbacks David Dellucci misplayed and should have won the game for the Giants.

Instead, as Jon Miller aptly describes, Rivera embarked on something that ultimately cost him his career in the major leagues, as he'd appear in only one more game the following day before spending the rest of his playing days in the minor leagues and Mexico. Tweet In Game 6 of the 1992 World Series, Joe Carter stepped on first base after taking a throw from Blue Jays reliever Mike Timlin, recording the last out in the bottom of the 11th inning and securing the first World Series championship in Toronto Blue Jays history as they beat the Atlanta Braves, 4-3. One year later, in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies, Carter found himself in position to make history once again. Carter dug in against Phillies closer Mitch Williams with one out, Rickey Henderson on second base, Paul Molitor on first base and one out and the Blue Jays trailing 6-5. Starting around the 1:45 mark in the video, Blue Jays announcer Tom Cheek lets the fan in him take over, resulting in one of the iconic home run calls in history. Tweet One out.

That's all the Boston Red Sox needed to put an end to 68 years of frustration and waiting. Holding a 5-3 lead heading into the bottom of the 10th inning, the Red Sox sent reliever Calvin Schiraldi back out to the mound for his third inning of work. After getting Mets 2B Wally Backman and 1B Keith Hernandez to fly out, Schiraldi allowed a single to their catcher, Gary Carter. Mets manager Davey Johnson would send OF Kevin Mitchell in to pinch hit for the pitcher, Rick Aguilera, and Mitchell delivered with a line drive single of his own, giving the Mets runners on first and second. Schiraldi allowed another single, this time to Mets 3B Ray Knight, scoring Carter and advancing Mitchell to third base. Red Sox manager John McNamara had seen enough, and pulled Schiraldi in favor of Bob Stanley. Stanley's eighth pitch to Mets CF Mookie Wilson was low and inside, getting past Red Sox catcher Rich Gedman and rolling to the backstop, allowing Mitchell to score the tying run.

Vin Scully tells us how the ninth pitch of the at-bat would go (skip ahead to the 1:50 mark for the call of the actual play). Tweet Game 1 of the 1954 World Series featured the Cleveland Indians, led by 3B Al Rosen and CF Larry Doby, at the Polo Grounds taking on Willie Mays and the New York Giants. The Indians got ahead early against Giants starter Sal Maglie, scoring two runs in the top of the first inning, only to be answered in the bottom of the third when the Giants scored two off of Indians starter Bob Lemon. Maglie took the mound in the top of the eighth inning with the game still tied at two. Doby would draw a walk, and Rosen would chase Maglie from the game with a single. Don Liddle would replace Maglie for the Giants, and he toed the rubber against Indians 1B Vic Wertz. Jack Brickhouse, who spent the majority of his career as the play-by-play voice for the Chicago Cubs, joined Giants broadcaster Russ Hodges in the booth for this game and takes it from here.

Tweet By the time the 1988 World Series came around, Kirk Gibson had stopped vomiting, but he could still barely walk. Yet there he was in the Dodgers dugout for Game 1. Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda would call on Gibson in the bottom of the ninth inning as a pinch hitter, with a man on second and two outs. Gibson, with injuries to both legs, hobbled his way to the plate to hit against Oakland's All-Star closer, Dennis Eckersley. Calling the game is Jack Buck, who not only unleashes another legendary line, but captures the awe-inspiring moment for what it was. Tweet With 44 games left in the 1951 season, the Brooklyn Dodgers held a 13-and-a-half game lead on the New York Giants for the National League pennant. Brooklyn would go 26-21 down the stretch while the Giants would put together a remarkable 36-6 run, leaving the teams tied with two games against each other left to play. They would split the two game series, forcing a one game playoff to determine the winner of the National League, held at the Polo Grounds.

A pitching duel between the Don Newcombe of the Dodgers and Sal Maglie of the Giants ensued, and the teams headed into the top of the eighth inning tied at one. Maglie would give up three runs in the top half of the inning to give the Dodgers a 4-1 lead, and the Dodgers would fail to answer in the bottom of the inning. After Giants reliever Larry Jansen worked a one-two-three inning in the top of the ninth, Newcombe took the mound to seal the deal for the Dodgers. Consecutive singles by the Giants Alvin Dark and Don Mueller would put runners on the corners with nobody out. Giants 1B Whitey Lockman would line a shot into the gap between left and center, scoring Dark and advancing Mueller to third. Dodgers manager Chuck Dressen would replace Newcombe with Ralph Branca, and the Giants Bobby Thomson stepped to the plate. Giants announcer Russ Hodges takes over from there.

Share This Fenway renovations on schedule | MLB.com Fenway renovations on schedule Red Sox plowing ahead with renovations By Mike Shalin / Special to MLB.com | + 0 COMMENTS BOSTON -- With the home opener some 62 days away, Fenway Park currently looks anything like a stadium that will host the Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays on April 11. But mark this down: The old place will be ready, complete with all kinds of new stuff. The Red Sox, in their latest move at renovating and upgrading a ballpark that opened in 1912, have torn the upper portion of Fenway apart, in what club president/CEO Larry Lucchino calls "the largest renovation in the history of Fenway Park." Wednesday, the Sox gave the media a tour of the site, complete with hard hats. A walk out to the Green Monster seats, an earlier upgrade of this regime, showed a look at the home plate area that looks entirely different. Gone is the high glass that sat in front of what was the .406 Club.

That area will be open now, with a lower half -- the EMC Club, a $275 seat that will be heated -- and upper half known as the Home Plate Pavilion. The top portion will connect with the roof boxes that have also been replaced by what will now be a permanent base structure. The capacity for this season, according to the fire code, will be 38,805, up from 36,298 last year. After the club finishes all upgrades -- this is the fifth one so far under current ownership -- by the park's 100th birthday in 2012, the capacity is projected to be 39,968. That's a ways off, though. For now, a mild Boston winter has helped crews get their work done. Red Sox senior vice president for planning and development Janet Marie Smith, who is overseeing the project, said a harsh winter wouldn't have threatened completion for the home opener, but the thus-far soft winter, which included the warmest January in memory, has helped. "I would not say the mild winter took away the risk," she said. "It certainly makes it easier." While the actual seating construction takes place, other improvements are going on everywhere.

The concourses around Fenway have been dug up as the Sox install new piping for sprinklers. The giant speaker in center field, which spread sound more to the surrounding neighborhood than to all sections of seats (and was acquired from the Eric Clapton tour), has been pulled out. A new system, aimed at keeping the sound inside the park and reaching all sections, is being put in. There will also be a new power station, as well as an emergency public address system on the concourses. "There's a lot of work that's not as photogenic as the new seats are," Smith said. She added the issue of the old seats -- some 12,000 that clearly don't live up to any comfort standards -- will, at some point, be replaced, at a loss of seating but an aid to comfort. Smith noted there's a reason why the top of the stadium has been a priority. "We had to protect what's here and work our way down," Smith said, adding there will be "a complete overhaul of the infrastructure by the time this is all done, in 2012." "We do need to redo the lower bowl for the purpose of waterproofing the structure," Smith added.

Lucchino said, "This is the fifth of a multi-year program. This is the largest chunk, but by no means the final element." He added that the Sox will work "up to and until the 100th anniversary. We think of that as an end point to much of the work we are trying to do." He thanked Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and the Boston Redevelopment Authority for their "enthusiastic cooperation" with what the Sox are trying to do in the "preservation and protection of Fenway Park. "That is the mantra we live by -- the preservation of protection of Fenway Park." Mike Shalin is a contributor to MLB.com.

Share This Fenway Park Seating Chart, Pictures, Directions, and History - Boston Red Sox - ESPN Directions HISTORY: Fenway Park opened in 1912 and is the oldest ballpark in the major leagues. Known for its Green Monster, a 37-foot-high wall that extends straight from left field to center field, Fenway Park has one of the last hand-operated scoreboards in baseball in the left-field wall. Green and red lights are used to signal balls, strikes and outs.

The Red Sox added 269 new seats atop The Monster for the 2003 season. Soak up the scene: The seats are cramped, the facilities ancient and the tickets are some of the most expensive in baseball. Now that that's out of the way, every baseball fan should make it to Fenway at least once. This oldest park in the Majors is a living museum to America's pastime and home to the best team in baseball in the new century. And right outside the door are some great sports bars.
